No Lunch is the second album released by New York City glam punk band D Generation. It was their first with Columbia Records after leaving their previous record company. The album was produced by The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek.
The album would prove to be D Generation's most critically acclaimed, with reviewers citing New York Dolls and Ramones as strong influences. The tracks "No Way Out", "She Stands There" and "Capital Offender"were taken from the record as singles, with promotional videos recorded and released for the first two of these singles.
Tracks 3, 5, 8 and 12 are re-recorded versions of songs which appeared on their previous, self-titled album. The opening track, "Scorch" was a new recording of a song that had appeared on the 1995 Flipside: R.A.F.R. compilation album.
